Forever

As time runs out we wonder what happened How the time went by so fast And how we came to be who we are today.

As days and years pass by We wonder why it all had to go so fast Why the greatest moments had to be the fastest of all And the worst the slowest

As seconds and minutes speed away we wish they would slow down That we could have enjoyed a moment a little bit longer That we could have paused a minutes to last forever

As time runs out we wonder what happened How time went by so fast And how we came out to be who we are today

Forever is something that needs to be held onto' You can't pause the moments we want, can't make a day last eternity The only thing that you can do is remember And most of all realize That you can't control forever It just happens.
